ISRAEL: US taxpayers underwrite destruction

My wife and I contribute money to various groups helping refugees and people whose homes have been destroyed in warlike actions that occur periodically in the Middle East.

The irony for us is that we send monies to help repair the damage that our tax dollars have caused in the form of massive damage, such as the aid the U.S. gives to Israel, that is then used to fight an uneven war with Palestinians who fight mostly with rocks, and in too many cases in desperation with unprovoked attacks on innocent Israelis.

There is blame on both sides, but maybe the U.S. should reconsider doling out tax dollars in the billions that go to the cause of destroying property and massacring innocent human beings, with the excuse of self-protection.
